Default C4 Brake upgrade question

If I go with z06 brakes on my 86.. is the stock booster/MC going to be adequate? I remember reading something that I'd need a new booster and MC.

If we need new booster for 86s thats news to me. I thought the stocker was sufficient.

Should be fine. Check with 18carfan about this as well as the parts. He's the cheapest for this stuff and he had them on his 80s C4. :yesnod:

This car is going to cost me a lot of money when these tires run out. Rims. Brakes. Tires.

Those that have purchased the adapters from Electro-Dynamics, Inc. and the components from 18carfan have utilized the original MC and booster.
I'll check with them to see if they will do another GP if you want. Send me an email if you wish.

I can get the z06 brakes cheaper than Jeff can sell them to me for, I bet. I'd just need to buy the mounting equipment.

*edit* which is really spendy :eek:


it's some time off, anyway... I have to wear out my tires first.
My Dunlops were worn out by now, but i've got at least another 10k on these Kumhos
:smash:
